Stewart Books

After reading this book, I must say that this is probably the finest work of Donald Jack. The jokes and punes are so subtle that you can read the book several times (As I have done) and discover new ones each time. A witty and very entertaining book.

For those who have followed the trials of Bart Bandy this book will not only bring you up todate on his misadventures, but bring back the enjoyable moments of his checkered past. If you haven't read the previous Bandy Papers - do so if you can find them. This is the best of his adventures as he trips his way through history. Hilarious!

My wife and I use the recipes in this magazine every Christmas. They come out perfect every time.

This offering from Martha Stewart provides a new, more elegant way to celebrate the holidays. The menus she presents are a refreshing departure from the traditional "turkey and dressing". Her decorating ideas are absolutely exquisite (a fact that did not go unnoticed by our guests). My friends and I enjoyed making the decorations and preparing the meal as much as our guests enjoyed looking at the decorations and eating! I only wish she had provided more decorating ideas.

I loved this book, easy reading, fun, and it keeps you wanting to know more. The author does a great job of making you "see" the characters and the little West Texas town of Notrees. In my mind, I picture Tommy Lee Jones playing the colorful lead character, Coyanosa! Malone!!

This is a very good storey! As you read the book you can see the people, the little town and the surrounding landscape. This is a book you don't put down until you have read it all. The book is also a light fun and fast read. Men and women will love this book. It's leavening you wonting more.

Is this what the psychiatrists mean when they speak of character dissociation? Throughout a day spent in the emotionally vulnerable state of premenstrual stress, the protagonist continually runs up against reminders of the most trying times of her life, with disastrous emotional echoes.

An amazing book. The story of Mary Dunne's life is told in the space of just one day's meetings and memories. And over and over she asks herself the same question throughout the book that you must ask: Is she losing her mind? Or is this just a bad and shaky moment, exacerbated by hormonal changes?

Any woman that has ever suffered through a day with the glibly labelled PMS will recognize Mary's Mad Twin. And among those, many of us must also identify with her fearful sense of lost identity, and fears of the wide open edges of mental dysfunction.

Frightening, internal, true-to-life - this is not a book to read in an off-balance moment. But it is an amazing internal portrait of a woman. It would be an amazing portrait even if it was written by a woman; how much more so when written by a man! Yet Moore seems to effortlessly empathize completely and realistically. He has once again created a wholly believable and poignant character whom we must follow through the toils of her personal hell.

On a whim, I purchased a frayed copy of this book in a thrift shop because it was published the year I was born, and I wanted to get a peek into the culture of that time. I certainly didn't expect to aquire one of the most affecting novels I've ever read. Moore, who also wrote the wrenching JUDITH HEARNE - - filmed as THE LONELY PASSION OF JUDITH HEARNE with Maggie Smith in 1987 - - has an elegant and inviting voice that immediately draws you into the persona of his heroine. (The book is told in the first person.) The writer displays subtle but complete authority as a storyteller, alternating humor with pathos, and reading this poignant and eerie character study is (to use a cliche) a treat....one that I would highly recommend.

Well illustrated with about 10 different sea creatures getting their own page and brief specific information about them that children can really relate to. This is a great introductory book, and is a wonderful lead to all kinds of movements and sounds of these fascinating creatures!

I picked up this little book for my baby nephew. Because the book is small (about 6"x6") and has thick cardboard pages it will be ideal for him while he is developing hand-eye coordination. It is bright, colorful, and well illustrated, and overall has a very creative and appealing design. This little book looks ideal for any age up to about 1st or 2nd grade (depending upon reading level) and gives young children interesting knowledge about 10 different sea-creatures. This real-life book is a great alternative to cartoons and make-believe. All around it is a great little book!

read some of the events are old as this book was written 2-3 years ago but it has alot of GREAT reading and lessons in the book that never will get old. EDUCATE your mind buy this book

Collaboratively written by military chaplains Timothy Demy and Gary P. Stewart , In The Name Of God: Understanding The Mindset Of Terrorism is a comprehensive and informative inquiry into the phenomenon of religious terrorism throughout recent history, from cyberterrorism and information warfare to the September 11 attacks to the threat of nuclear bombs. Addressing both factual events and the religious questions that people ask in the wake of tragic loss, In The Name Of God: Understanding The Mindset Of Terrorism is a chilling and close look at what is really going on behind today's terrible headlines.

I found this book a very valuable resource to look at the history of why what (mostly) men do in work is considered more valuable than what women do, why they are generally paid more. (i.e. why male tree trimmers make more money than female nurses, why women with college educations make less on the average than [...]educated males)...this is an older book so things have improved some, but there's still the difference.
Tavris and Offir found cross cultural similarities of the bias against what women do, i.e. the hunting that men have done was valued more than the gathering and cooking that women did...yet both were important for survival.

I highly recommend the book.

President Jimmy Carter has been quoted as saying that life is not fair. The statement is certainly true as it relates to Ms. Hospital. It isn't fair that one person should have so much talent. On the other hand, we can all be glad that she keeps writing extraordinary short stories and novels. ISOBARS contains fifteen short stories, all of which are as good as we have come to expect from this writer. They are about loss, sorrow, violence, missed opportunities. While many of the men in these stories behave very badly-- law enforcement officers rape a trusting school teacher, and boys steal the clothes of a teacher and her two female students while they are skinnydipping-- many of the characters, both men and women, have a strong resilience and courage, even in defeat.

Ms. Hospital takes the reader through a landmine of terrific words and phrases. The past is a "Dead Letter Office." The children of a man's second marriage "had not yet reached the age of disappointment." An old man in a rooming house has been "left stranded by old age and widowerhood." His housemates "came and went, anything could claim them: death, a son or daughter whose conscience got the upper hand for a while, loss of memory." Another character has "learned to let happiness come and go, without anxiety. It always did keep coming again, in new and surprising shapes." One could do worse than have that philosophy.

I am always so amazed and undone by what this writer does with so few words. In the last selection in this book, "Here and Now," in six and a half pages she tells a story of death and loss that will convince you she's as good a living writer as there is. In Toronto, Allison, a college professor who at fifty has just learned that her mother has died in Sydney, consoles Walter, a ninety-year-old retired professor, who remembers the loss of his son who has died in an accident in Australia. They both are awash with memory and sorrow-- as is the reader.

Ms. Turner is an amazing writer.

A brilliant volume of short stories dealing with multiple acts and varieties of violence and pain and how people deal with them. From the chilling "The Last of the Hapsburgs", which tells of the assaults on women's attempts to construct a zone of solidarity and non-competitive friendship, to the droll "The Chameleon Condition", that imagines how it would be if a philandering professor involuntarily displayed his responses to the world through changes in skin color, the volume ranges through anger to a wise appreciation of our efforts to erect bulwarks against the depradations of time and loss. Hospital's sharp and clever prose never meanders and each story manages to surprise and ring new changes on her basic themes.

I bought this book for an employee who had decided to move from sunny San Diego back to the town where she grew up, Minneapolis.
It's cold there and this book was quite appropriate. She loved it, as did others in our work group. For 5 bucks, don't hesitate - this is a great gift.

Cathy McGlynn and Bonnie Stewart have put together a collection of one-liners sure to tickle your funny bone and warm your heart. Order one for yourself and a friend who lives in the South!!
